Before the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections, the BJP had promised to implement the Swaminathan Committee report. Which talks about the cost of MSP being 1.5 times more but after winning the elections, MSP was forgotten by the BJP, this is the season of harvesting and sowing the fields, and farmers should have been in their fields. But rather, they are here at Jantar Mantar to protest, which is a stain on the society, The Chief Minister told.

The hospitals were also in a very bad state, but instead of shutting them down, the Aam Aadmi Party improved their conditions.
Kejriwal pointing towards Alkali Dal and Congress stated that: When the BJP established a committee to draft the farm bills, leaders from these parties were present in the committee, which drafted the clauses of the bills to be approved by the Centre. But now, they are playing games and doing tractor rallies.
